Fifty-seven. Sorry, what? Fifty-seven of those texts - just the ones I’ve heard. How thrilling that you’ve counted.

Mycroft: Sherlock there is this dangerous woman in the UK and we need your help.

Sherlock: What did she do?

Mycroft: She took photos of a precious royal and is now blackmailing the british royal family with it.

Sherlock:

I just realised how sexy it sounds when he says

“why would I want to have dinner, if I wasn’t hungry?”

[sexy-sapphic-sorcerer]

if I had a dollar for every time the bbc made a show about an iconic character from british canon except he's young with black hair, pale skin and prominent cheekbones, and he has an intense relationship with his best friend and is generally gay coded, aside from weird sexual tension with a powerful woman who also has black hair, pale skin and a strong jawline, and is otherwise a lesbian who is fucking her maid

I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot but we don't talk enough about the fact that it happened twice at the same time

I might get shit for this, but...

Irene Adler referred to herself as 'gay'. Not as a lesbian.

It's possible she is one, but it is also possible that she meant it in the same way some people (who feel comfortable) use 'queer' today.

It's possible she is mostly homosexual, or homoromantic bisexual, or biromantic homosexual or maybe she is bisexual but biphobic, or she simply prefers women, so she calls herself gay.

We have no evidence she ever slept with male individuals either as part of her job or outside of if (her website doesn't mention sex, only scolding and secrets).

You hardly need my permission to ship Adlock, but just a reminder that "she is a lesbian" is not a valid reason to hate on people who do ship her with Sherlock especially not to send them hate and call them names.

Same with Sherlock. His sexuality is ambigious. Do I think canon Sherlock is different/opposite sex attracted? No. Does that mean I will call someone who ships him with Irene or Molly a homophobe or an acephobe/aphobe? No.

There is canon and fanon. I have my headcanons about most characters, including Irene. You are free to have yours.

You cannot prove me wrong but I cannot prove you wrong either.

You are also free to think Sherlock is aroace, or gay ace, or bi ace, or grey ace, or that he is sex repulsed, or that he loves sex very much.

You can also think he is bi or gay in BBC Sherlock. You can believe he is straight too, just in case you did want my permission.

Or maybe you'd prefer not to label him at all. After all, "Who the hell knows about Sherlock Holmes?"

This was a public service announcement.

I can't stand opposites attract dynamics. They make no sense to me. Why would opposites attract? Kindred spirits who have never seen themselves in anyone but each other and that's why they fall in love>>>>

Moffat quote about Sherlock

“Sherlock Holmes, again, must have sexual impulses because human beings tend to – most human beings, not absolutely all, but that’s the majority. The fact is, he decides to put all that in an iron box to make his brain work better. Of course, the fact that that iron box bounces around and shakes and bangs from the inside is what makes the story interesting. He wants to rise above us like a snow-capped mountain, but he’s actually a volcano, and that’s where the story is. That’s where the story is. You know, you shove Irene Adler in front of him, and he just falls apart like most men would." Steven Moffat, 2014

Adlock's time in Karachi is my Roman Empire.

Think about it very often.

[cutterpillow92]

You don’t actually think I was interested in you? Why? Because you’re the great Sherlock Holmes, the clever detective in the funny hat? No. Because I took your pulse. Elevated; your pupils dilated.

Five times Sherlock thought of Irene.

Yes, an Adlock gifset at the year of our lord 2024.

Irene's famous flat is a £1.4m house inside

Guys, guess what I found! The real life house of Irene Adler 😍 It turns out that they filmed her flat in London (44 Eaton Square) in 2 locations, and one of them is this house. I've never seen these photos before. People who lived in the house kept Irene's famous black wallpaper and the bathroom looks completely the same. The living room looks darker and different now, the decorators used very light colors here and glamour details like floor lamp with chrystal beads. But it's so cool to see the whole picture now. And yes, £1.4m back in 2020. So her! Also one of the 'Doctor Who' episode was filmed here (that staircase!) The House is soo big, so British. I'm in love. The Article and all photos is here

Sherlock and Irene Adler:

Please just Adlockers, I need ship validation. :D

In S2xE1 it could just be the lights, but if you watch at Sherlock‘s pupils, you can see them different in both pulse scenes.

In the first scene where he tooks her pulse, his pupils stay tight. It seems like he is cautious and stays in the observing mode to figure her motives out. He plays even though her game along and asks, why he should eat dinner if he is not hungry. And I think there was some curiosity of himself maybe too or more.

In the second scene at the end, his pupils are near her dilated too.. He seems more emotional and heartbroken and that is why he plays so cold…

[inexpressiblybeatiful]

She was looking at his lips while he was looking at HER.

Irene Adler & Sherlock Holmes

Edit:

Submission: "Irene is a common love interest of Sherlock"

@thebiballerina from the replies: "Sherlock (in disguise) was best man/the only witness at [Irene & Godfrey's] wedding."
